Why just for AiSSLtelnet and security/smimemsg?
security/AiCA is also same situation and all seems in same project.
It seems that the Labo's HOMEPAGE had been moved from
http://mars.elcom.nitech.ac.jp/
to http://www-ailab.elcom.nitech.ac.jp/ ,
but in new site, not mentioned to AiCA.
I hear that NAREGI CA is the successor of AiCA.
